Are You Sitting Comfortably?

As we increasingly spend more time seated it is important to select the right chair. Poorly designed or incorrectly fitted chairs produce unneccessary pressure and strain on the body leading to discomfort and pain. These problems may be avoided by selecting a chair not only of the appropriate size and shape for the user but one that provides correct posture.

Measurements to consider when selecting your new chair.

Seat Height
should be equal to or slightly less than the distance from the underside of thighs (at back of knee) to the floor wearing indoor footwear.

Seat Depth
should be slightly less than the distance from the back of buttocks to the back of knees.

Back Height
should be the distance from bottom of back to eye level.
